BoE governor to unveil interest rate decision guidance
Bank of England (BoE) governor Mark Carney is to unveil new guidance later today, giving the country more certainty on interest rates and economic stimulus.

The Telegraph reports the move will further aid the economic recovery.

It said the City expects Carney to provide guidance to certain limits and targets that would have to be hit before the Bank of England starts to raise interest rates, which have hit record lows. Quantitative easing (QE) thresholds will also be included.

The move is in response to the Chancellor’s call in his March Budget for the bank to investigate “unconventional policy”.

The report said it is hoped the forward guidance would give businesses and other consumers more clarity on the path of interest rates.
